"Hands on Experience"
Personal Hands on Experience of a year with our Prismatic Cells
The Prismatic cells have two primary uses 1- Power the 2kw inverter 2- power the stock heater blower motor, leaving the existing GC batteries for the other loads. Nice to be able to use the Microwave, while DW is sleeping, in the early morning after watching a few movies with the stock heater (aka power hog) on all night.
To date no issues with Charging, Metering, Monitoring or Warning/Alarm systems. Most of which we custom built.
Looked at the "Plug & Play" "Drop In" 12vdc replacements and decided against them for several reasons. The primary one being they are typically made of many many smaller batteries in a series parallel combination. Suggest you take a look at several available Prismatic Cells rather than the "Drop In" replacements.
PT - The cells are in a climate controlled storage bin. We store the Rig from late October through April in a heated barn. So for us there are No cold weather issues for the cells
